It just seems strange to paint fabric I admit~
but I have been thrilled with the results every time I try it.
Here is the before and after of a french chair. Side by side this pair used to be the same. First thing I did was to paint the entire thing in a coat of Old White Chalk Paint®. Then I did one more after it dried.

Remembering a most Romantic Valentines Day
Long before this Valentines Day 2013 there were some unhappy times.
